#924 ASA PLAY ON Atlanta Braves -1.5 on the Run Line (-110) over Tampa Bay Rays, Friday at 7:20 PM ET - This is a great spot with a huge pitching edge. Chris Sale is coming off another strong road start but this followed a rare home start where nothing went right for him. This is, indeed, ultra rare for Sale as in his other 7 starts since mid-April he has allowed a TOTAL of only 5 earned runs! Sale has been rock solid again this season but he can not wait to be on his home mound and make up for that strange debacle against, of all teams, the Athletics! We are banking on Sale having a huge bounce back outing here at home and note that the Rays Zack Littel has been hit hard on the road this season. Though Littel has a low ERA overall and has pitched quite well at home, he is winless in his five road starts and opponents have hit .325 against him in those outings! Atlanta ranks in the top ten in the majors for team slugging percentage at home while the Rays slugging percentage on the road ranks among the worst in the majors. Tampa Bay is 8-18 this season against teams with a winning record. Atlanta is 15-9 in interleague games and a solid team at home too. Also, 30 of their 36 wins (83%) have been by at least a 2-run margin this season! Also, the bullpen ERA ranks the Braves 6th and the Rays 23rd this season! Big edges all around for the home team here. There is a reason Atlanta is so heavily favored on the money line here and it has led to particularly solid value on the run line in this one. Great spot to grab the solid value with the stronger team in a great spot and available at very small juice by laying the -1.5 runs! We will take it! Lay it!
